Italy

Florence was king during the Renaissance, and the city is still full of treasures from that transformative period in history.

Brunelleschi’s amazing Duomo changed the rules of architecture, and Michelangelo’s David is one of the great achievements in the history of art. In Rome, awe- inspiring remains of the ancient empire still stand, from the Colosseum to the Forum.
